Photos from Featherston's Confederacy/ TL-191

[Rooster Cogburn]

What would Gabriel Semmes have looked like?

A description from Walk In Hell says "He looked like a Confederate politician, or rather the apotheosis of a Confederate politician: in his early fifties, handsome, ruddy, a little beefy, with a mane of gray hair combed straight back from his forehead, a musttache, and a little chin beard that was almost pure white. The absense of tobacco stains from that beard was enough almost by itself to place him outside the common herd."

And, just for personal interest, what would Gordon McSweeney have looked like?

He is described as "big and tall and fair, with muscles like rocks, a chin and cheekbones that might have been hewn from granite, and pale eyes that looked through a man, not at him."

Confederate author William Faulkner. He became famous for his novel All Quiet On The Roanoke Front which was a fictionalized account of his service in the confederate army during the great war. After the war Faulkner made his home in Oxford MS where he became a bestselling author in both the north and south. Faulkner was also a strong supporter of the Radical-Liberal Party. However under the Freedom Party his books were often burned and he spent years as a political prisoner. In 1943 he escaped from the prison camp and fled to the United States where he was granted political asylum. In the above picture Faulkner (circa 1955) is interviewed about his experiences during the war.

That guy standing behind him looks an awful lot like future president and then governor Roosevelt. What was he doing there?

That's because it is

But hell, the portrait matched the description. How about this for a (younger) Gabriel Semmes?
